[quote=Anonymous]My mom did this with my brother. The weird part was that she cared way, way, more than my brother did. He always had a few close friends, but was far from a popular kid. My brother admitted to my mom many years later (when he was in college and found his kind of people) that my mom's stress over his being unpopular made him really uncomfortable because he felt like she was upset he wasn't a popular kid and his friends weren't "good enough". He was perfectly happy with his small group of close friends. OP, does your son act upset that he's not invited to some sleepovers and parties? I say this nicely, but please think about therapy for your anxiety. It is probably deeper than just "well I wasn't popular and I'm worried my son won't be" [/quote]
